Title: NEW TO MINING: My setup, Is it right?
Post by: minermagnus on January 25, 2014, 07:17:26 AM
Hello all miners, and members of this extremely addictive community called bitcoins! :D

I've just got a few questions for, and I am glad for all feedback :)

So i created my wallet, and started mining with my computer(s). One lenovo thinkpad laptop and another self made AMD PC.
As I've read, these aint much to mine from and on, so if I like this thing, I will buy some hardware.
Wondering about ANTminer, or https://products.butterflylabs.com/50-gh-s-bitcoin-miner.html ?
Any recommendations?

And about pool, what is commonly said to be the best ones for new miners? I know very little programming and so.

And, is 1 worker = 1 PC? Or can 1 worker be 1 antminer, while you can have 6 antminers connected to you pc, so 1 PC can be 6 different miners?

And last but not least, is my setup correct?
I read another newbie smashing them shares, while i havent found NONE in the past 12 hours?
See pictures below.
